Description
An exceptional and delightful infusion
Korea's tradition of herbal infusions draws from the wisdom of an ancestral healing system grounded in phytotherapy. Roasted pumpkin (kabocha in Korean), united with red bean (azuki), creates a harmonious pairing of wellness and pure culinary pleasure. A creation of the Choi family.
The fragrances of roasted pumpkin intertwine with red bean to produce a magnificent wave of toasted, pyrolytic aromas on the palate, evoking azuki and hazelnut notes. Truly delightful!
The Choi family, craftspeople across 5 generations
In the Boseong region, in the country's south, Yeong Gi Choi preserves a family legacy that commenced in 1937, working alongside his wife and sons. The outcome is a limited, largely organically farmed production of infusions as well as exceptional green, black and dark teas.
